Tlawng Dam, Embankment dam in Lungleng, Mizoram, India.
The Tlawng Dam is an embankment dam on the Tlawng River in Mizoram, located about 25 kilometers from Aizawl. The structure will stand 123 meters high and extend 245 meters in length, designed to create a reservoir for hydroelectric generation.
The project began in 2012 when the Mizoram Government signed an agreement with Shyam Century Ferrous to develop the dam. This marked the start of formal planning and development for the hydroelectric facility in the region.
The dam location in Mizoram reflects the region's commitment to infrastructure development while considering the needs of local ethnic communities.
Visitors should know this is a project site in a hilly region with limited accessibility to the construction area. The dry season is the best time to visit, as roads in the region are more passable during those months.
The project features a spillway system designed to discharge large volumes of water quickly during periods of excessive rainfall in the region. This safety mechanism reflects the engineering approach needed for the monsoon climate of Northeast India.
